You've picked a great time! I just got back from a few days at WDW, and the crowds this week were among the smallest I've seen in years. I was in the parks on Feb. 25-27, and never waited more than 5 or 10 minutes for anything (although I don't usually do the coasters and other big thrill rides). (Epcot was a bit busier on the weekend - though not bad, but the weekdays were great.) At MGM on Tuesday, my sister walked right on to the Tower of Terror around 2 in the afternoon, and had a 5-10 minute wait for Rockin' Roller Coaster around the same time. You could get great seats for shows arriving just 5 or 10 minutes early. Even though it was clearly a slower time, I never waited more than 5 minutes or so for a bus. This was the week AFTER the week that included President's Day - what a great time to go!

We were there from the 22nd - 24th and had a great time. The crowds were very light the whole time. We rode a lot of things and even got to ride RNRC 7 times in 2 hours. We loved the lighter crowds we got to experience!

That's great to hear. I just found out that I am heading over there this Saturday. I hope the crowds stay light, but in our area, we are having spring break. Still, it should be fun!

1) we are here NOW!
2) The low crowds are great!
3) We did not get a single Fast Pass all day.
4) We did MK yesterday
. . . Buzz was a walk-on
. . . Laugh Floor was less than full all day
. . . Haunted Mansion was only busy early in the day
. . . even Pooh was a walk-on
. . . Peter Pan had its usual 50-minute wait
. . . Carousel had no one in line
. . . saw no one at Pirates until the boat loading zone

What is up with Peter Pan???
There is always a huge line!
You could walk onto every other ride in the place but Peter always makes you wait??!!
does anyone know why this is??

It's a flaw in the design of the ride. It does not hold a large amount of people at one time and therefore backs up rather quickly. It is always our 2nd ride of the day, after dumbo, which has the same flaw. :thumbsup:
